**Summary:** Create, rotate, and revoke developer API keys from the product. Key lifecycle is visible, new secrets are shown only once, and revoked keys cannot be used.  
**Who can do this:** Organization owners, Managers  
**Required access:** `integrations.manage`  
**Where in PositiveForm:** `/settings/developer/api`  
**Status:** Verified on 2026-07-30 against PositiveForm build `a15afd7`.

## Who this is for

This guide is for **integration staff** creating and managing developer API keys
inside PositiveForm.

## Before you begin

- Prefer a non-production studio when experimenting.
- Copy any new secret immediately; it is shown only once.

## Steps

1. Open **Settings › Developer › API** (`/settings/developer/api`). The
   heading is **Developer API**.
2. Enter an **Integration name**.
3. Tick the locations the key may access (for example studio location
   checkboxes shown on the form).
4. Click **Create key**.
5. Copy the secret from the one-time display, store it in your secret manager,
   then close the dialog. Rotate or revoke from the same page when a key is
   compromised.
6. Use the **Developer** breadcrumb to reach webhooks next if needed.

## Expected outcome

Key lifecycle is visible. New secrets appear once; revoked keys cannot be used.

## Recovery

If create fails, check that a name and at least one location are selected. If
you lost a secret, revoke the key and create a new one rather than hunting for
it anywhere outside PositiveForm.
